Ford Transit 125PS 280 SW LR 2.0 TDCi

Owned a transit for 3 yrs . It never lat me down and always started but cost me a fortune .

Delphi injection system is pants as had to replace all 4 injectors which cost £1000.

Eats front wheel bearings

Throttle sensor caputt

Rusts really bad. I sold mine as the rear floor fell apart. Garage told me this is common on vans over 5 years old so check this if buying.

Have now sold the van on Ebay at a great loss and wouldnt dare go near one again. Asked the garage what to buy now and was told that all the vans on the market now were pants !!!!. Prob get a sprinter next.

Good load space comfortable cabin but i thought the fuel injection system was rubish

The new Ford Transit squeaks, moans and groans. Bring back the smileys models these new heaps of rubbish are no good. They look pretty and are bit faster. Scrap the new bring back the old.

The Ford Transit is excellent and I would recommend. Love driving everyday and a pleasure to drive. Goes very well and still can't believe how well it picks up and excellent rates after owning for nearly 5 years.

Now buying the new Transit Sportvan TDCI, can't wait!

Love the TDCI and would recommend.

I had the the Ford Transit 2.0 75ps tdi for 3 years, and apart from the power problem which I talked about in my 260 review, but the Ford Transit 125PS is the best! It has power like you can't believe. It's like driving a sports car from the nineties. Fill it up with gear in the back and go. It really does have power like you won't believe, and you'll lose your license if you don't keep your eyes peeled. Wow! What a van! The best is the fuel... I used to get 500 miles or there abouts from my 75ps 260 transit, and this thing returns 600 miles from the same fuel amount, and the same payload, but I can go quicker if I need to. A top van I'd say.

I have covered 5000 miles in 5 weeks, and not had a sniff of a problem. It's a pleasure to go to work in it, and the grin factor you get from the acceleration (well). I did go for the top of the range; The hallmark with all the toys... Air conditioning, electric mirrors and windows etc, but money well spent I'd say. I am in it 8 or 10 hours a day, so I wanted it to be right, and believe me it is. If you really want to take the pee with the power, you can upgrade it for about £249 to £299 for any tdi or tdci by getting yourself a tuning box from [email protected] who are the best on the market in my opinion.

I'll keep this site up to date every 4 or 5 weeks and tell you if anything develops. Thanks for reading!
